Secrets of the City

Congrats, Max!

Okay, I confess, it’s me.

ha! “MNspeak was better when Rex was here, the first time.”

that’s my guess, too: Congrats Max.

maybe MN Stories will get more link love now.

Max? After that “Supermayor” post? Here’s a hint: Effective April 3, MNspeak will be a smokefree site….

Oh, least I forget, thanks for keeping MNspeak going and all your work on this site, Matt.

Effective April 3, MNspeak will be a smokefree site….

Are you saying the patronage will dwindle to a fraction of its former self?

Never smoked but I’m thinking about starting

It ain’t me. My guess: Maz.

I would have guessed Max as well.

Bud Jr for MNspeak Editor!

Okay, I put money on Andrew Eklund.

Is Chuck trying to throw us off his scent?

I love the excitement of the guessing game! Matt– good luck on your new internet venture. In a tough situation, with huge shoes to fill, I think you did an outstanding job. And you’ll always have the Katie Couric pengate.

I nominate maz for one week.

It was posted yesterday, is it an April’s Fools joke?

Simpleton beat me to the post.

Being that I always try my hand at April Fools jokes, I’m calling this as one.

Oh– good call KC! Totally missed that, I’m usually an idiot when it comes to April Fools. Our managers at WCCO actually sent off a memo warning people to be careful with news tips and press releases on Sunday. You h ate to be burned on that.

The thought did cross my mind mostly because I didn’t think the Bartel Cartel had the cash reserves to buy little Matty a new toy at this juncture.

I convinced a friend of mine I was engaged to Amber. hehe. There have been some sweet April Fools pranks around the Legislature in recent years, so it’s too bad this year it came on a Sunday.

I don’t think it’s an April Fools joke.

My money’s on aeklund, too.

But April Fools…. Hmmm… My initial reaction was somewhere between glee and giddiness and “wheeeee!” and you get the idea. I’d hate to be disappointed.

I think Cristina Cordova would be great (and hey, she’s already under the Rake umbrella… ) but she’s a she, not a he… pretty sure.

My money’s on aeklund, too.

Great, so we can get more hipster nostalgia threads about sweet shoes, and maybe read about his completely un-minnesota-related trips, and maybe even get a healthy dosage of him pimping his retarded designspeak that amounts to smoke and mirrors with no substance whatsoever.

Sounds perfect for this place.

Given that I have the most creative posts (even if not always the most creative comments), it would be safe to assume that Matt is referring to me.

acalhoun-

Why are you assuming the basis of this decision has to do with creativity?

If it has anything to do with creativity and not bland regurgitation of hipster douchebaggery there’s no way it could possibly be aeklund.

I think the new editor is either sayin’ or just sayin’.

I guess I just like creativity.

Sayin’,

Amen to your words.

If I were editor, I would have approved my post about people fucking publicly outside my apartment building during rush hour.

Samesin,

I think you might have been the minister at my grandpa’s funeral last weekend. He slipped into an already depressing sermon a little diatribe about how “Godless Communist Karl Marx tried to take religion away from us.”

If I were editor, I would have approved my post about people fucking publicly outside my apartment building during rush hour.

I think the important question here is: were they hot? If they were, where do you live?

The girl was kind of hot, but the guy looked like Borat. I won’t say where I live exactly, but I live in the Calhoun-Isles community. And yes, my last name is the same as the Lake.

were they out on the park, or in your yard or your neighbours or what?

I look forward to more traditional, conservative and pro-gun posts.

Our parking lot is right across from the lake, so they were in full view of residents of the south side of our building and the condos next door. They were hidden enough so that people walking around Lake Calhoun couldn’t get any money shots. Nevertheless, these two were seen by quite a few people and seemed to like it that way.

I say grote is the new editor.

Deny it

I have another web project that’s set to launch in a few weeks and unfortunately I won’t have enough time to do run both sites.

Matt runs this site?

Also, if I may add, Matt, I think you did a fine job, even if you weren’t as obsessive about the site as rex. At the end of the day, the users make the site.

Unfortunately, there are quite a few whiners on this site, and they liked to give you a hard time.

For those of you still stuck in this thread, Steve Marsh is the new Sheriff.

Thanks, sayin’, one again for all of your love.

actually, even aeklund would be better than steve fuckin’ marsh

Sayin’ – I wonder if I met you this morning without knowing it. I was standing in line for a coffee, when I sneezed. I covered my nose, stifled it into my own sleeve, and generally did everything possible to make sure I had contained any germs. After I got my coffee, the guy behind me muttered my direction, “Asshole.”

So if that was you, I’m REALLY sorry I sneezed and I’ll try to not do it again.

why don’t you do one better and try not to breathe.

Zing!

We’re all the new chiefs. It’s clearly going to work like jury duty, so start coming up with excuses to get out of doing it.

I say grote is the new editor.

Deny it

why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free?

“At the end of the day, the users make the site.“

Really?

We’re screwed.

Want a sign of the Apocalypse? It’s not Marsh (or me, for that matter) as editor. It’s Karl Rove rapping.

To: aeklund
Re: MC Rove

Oh.
My.
God.

Although, based on this shit he’s pulled, he’s more gangsta than 50 Cent and DMX combined.

File under: Yet Another Reason White Men Over 40 Should Never Rap. Regardless of political persuasion.

Bud Jr for ruler of MNspeak. Ban s4xton when you get the chance.

matt owns mnspeak.

christ.
